About Oracle RAC in a Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC environment
If you are deploying Oracle RAC with Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, your setup configuration will reflect the following conditions:
A highly available parallel cluster with a multiple instances of Oracle is set up on sys1, sys2, and sys3 with SF for Oracle RAC.
The database is online on sys1, sys2, and sys3.
The datafiles are mounted and shared on sys1, sys2, and sys3.
The SFDB tools is mounted and shared on sys1, sys2, and sys3.
Clustered ODM is supported for this configuration.
In the figure below the repository directory resides in the Oracle mount points.
For an SF Oracle RAC configuration, the systems are online in parallel and do not use failover mechanisms within the cluster.
See the Veritas InfoScale Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Administrator's Guide.
